The Sinuiju Combined Greenhouse Farm is located on Wihwa Island near the Amnok River in the country’s northwest and sprawls over 450 hectares.
It was built according to the plan put forward by the respected Marshal Kim Jong Un and under his direct guidance. The area, once known for natural disasters and harsh river winds, has been transformed into a new model of regional development, a modern large-scale greenhouse vegetable producer.
It includes a thousand and hundreds of modern greenhouses of different types and an advanced vegetable science research center, along with attractive residential housing and cultural facilities. The site is protected by solid flood-control infrastructure and beautifully decorated with distinctive landscapes.
It produces a wide range of crops, including tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, cabbage, etc. Some greenhouses combine fish farming with hydroponic vegetable cultivation. At the farm, an intelligent integrated production system and efficient recycling technologies have been introduced, which is helpful in realizing the integration of management and production of the greenhouse farm.
Scientists working at the farm’s vegetable science research center are putting their efforts into creating modern methods for ensuring the quality, taste and nutritive value of greenhouse vegetables, expanding the distribution of high-quality vegetable seed varieties, and other issues important for the farm itself and for the development of greenhouse agriculture across the country.
